Summary Introduction

To determine:

The concentration of $25.\text{0}\text{mEq/L}{\text{SO}}_4^{2-}$ solution in $\text{mmol/L}$.

Introduction:

The concentration of the solution is defined as the amount of solute present in one liter of the solution. The expression $\text{mEq/L}$ and $\text{mmol/L}$ are the units of the concentration.

The term milliequivalent $\left(\text{mEq}\right)$ and millimoles are related to each other and it is expressed as, “The number of milliequivalents present per millimoles of an ion is equal to the charge on that ion per millimole.”
